ETYMOLOGY

{Maybe a Germanism borrowed from NHG?}
Got. baúrgs, ON borg, OE burg, burh, English borough, burrow, OS burg, OHG burg, MHG burc, NHG Burg; from PGmc ✱burg- (root noun); from PIE ✱bʰérǵʰ-/✱br̥ĝʰ- (or ✱bʰr(ǵ)ʰ-); perhaps related to PGmc ✱berga- 'mountain' (see באַרג); from PIE ✱bʰerǵʰ-o-, or to ✱bergan- 'to keep safe' (see פֿאַרבאָרגן); from PIE ✱bʰérgʰ-e-; cf. Greek πύργος 'tower', Πέργαμον 'fort of Troy', Latin burgus 'fort' (all are probably borrowings)
